For the legal folks. Does Twitter open itself up to legal liability in any of this. Twitter is "authenticating" these users as the legitimate people/companies that are unknown with the blue checkmark.But they didn't do their due diligence, negligently authenticated them, and those entities then ridiculed/embarassed the well known figures/companies.
I doubt it.

The Twitter blue check for $8 has been cancelledhttps://www.reuters.com/technology/musk-says-his-companies-will-remain-well-positioned-2023-2022-11-11/Customers will be doing chargebacks due to undelivered products or services. I suppose today is the day that Elon learns what payment processors do to you when your business receive a lot of chargebacks.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Seeing how quickly one can go from visionary to laughingstock.
The man claims he is founder of two companies he didn't start. He has an ego unmatched by many. He had no business trying to lead a social media company. Sadly, this should have been expected as his ego would get in the way of how to run social media, which is decidedly not a Tech company, and requires nuanced understanding of people, not things.
Interesting conversations between Musk fanboys and Musk haters.But I think two things are true.1. Musk has made the world a better place.2. Musk has made the world a worse place.
TSLA was 6 months old with no products and no sales and 3 employees when Musk invested and basically took over. There is a reason Musk, and Straubel who joined after him, are called co-founders with the others. There wasn't a company without them, even if they didn't file the incorporation papers.There are plenty of valid reasons to dislike and criticize Musk, but zeroing in on minutiae like that or claiming he's not that smart are the most silly axe to grind sort of things his ardent opponents do.
Agreed.As a TSLA shareholder, I'm not thrilled that he spent tens of billions of dollars on a failing company out of spite and hubris. He didn't even want the damn company, and now he's got both a financial albatross and a political clown-show on his hands. But what he's done with TSLA has mostly been remarkable (which is why I've been an investor for years), and in many ways he has been a visionary. Still, he's a rich, famous egomaniac who wants to be worshiped and who doesn't like being told "no." So he'll naturally be hated by millions, too.A real interesting guy. It would be great if somebody with true insight into him wrote a book or made a biopic.

Lockheed Martin too!https://twitter.com/litcapital/status/1591172069965713409?s=20&t=OMUOzvLN-QR4-SdStU9BxwTakes someone pretty special to lose billions in multiple companies in a day, including two he didn't own!
My comment was directly focused on his ego and how it negatively affects his abilities, particularly in relation to trying to run a social media company.It is a fact that he neither founded Tesla, or PayPal, but claims both. He actually filed a lawsuit to be allowed to claim being a founder of Tesla. That highlights his ego knows no bounds, as no-one discredits his role in building Tesla, yet his ego could not be satisfied unless he gets to be a "founder".That ego is biting him in the ass right now.
